A W210 DIY Alcantara Headliner & Roof Rattle Fix
by Yacht Master of MBWorld

To remove the sunroof door you need to compress the sliders.

Here I use a knife and lift the door up while the slider is out of the track do same for the other sliders, and remove door in a forward motion.

To remove the vents I bent them.

This is how much you need to bend them to remove, careful.

The door handle just snaps apart.

Now that I have the sunroof door I can take it with me to match the color. At this point I don't know if I will use OEM fabric or Alcantera, I have priced both, more on that later when I find the best color match.

Remove the rear lamp and support clip it is behind the lamp.

Open little doors in the handles.

Unscrew handles, to remove rotate up, they are hooked in.

Remove sun visors.
